Diedre Sue Quintana,  sent across the state for being "unruly".
Yet kept institutionalized for close to 3 yrs...WHY??? 
Car Thieves get 9 months....what did she do???  Pray to the Moon?

Anytime soon would be nice......

I sit in a home.
in a messed up place.
And think to myself
"I'm just wasting space"

I am one of no patience
I dont like to wait.
I want something to work for,
A home or discharge date.

You give me nothing
Not a single "Anytime soon" would be nice......

You give me nothing,
Not a single drop of insight
Not a drop of hope,
I'll do it myself, I might.

I have done all I can,
Now its up to you.
I can only wait longer,
Until you do what you need to do.

Now, how long is that going to take?

Family Bond

So many days I count
There's getting to be too many
How long has it been now?
I lost count after 733!

I drift to sleep at night
Thinking it will be over soon.
I picture my family together again.
Then reality sets in feeling self pity & doom

Why must I have to wait so long
So someone else could be content??
Everything is ruined and we are all lost
There's oh so much pain; was that the intent??

Never will I stop hoping
This will be over some day.
I have a family bond stronger than ever
I love them to death; why does this have to be this way?

We have been through hell and back
With all that has gone on, things have gotten rough
But we have won, we never lost
I love them, I cant express that enough.

Time

Change of heart, I guess you could say
what difference does it make?
This place is just the same as the rest.
I am guilty forever due to one small mistake.

I give it my best, and try very hard
But I seem to be going nowhere.

Most people see there's no reason to be here
Yet here I sit, waiting for someone to share.

I feel I am obligated to give them a reason
for keeping me locked up this long,
so they won't have a problem of sending me
If they cant because I have done wrong.

They should thank me, I think, don't you?
For I am saving them, buying them time.
They now have a chance to procrastinate things
With an excuse that won't cost them a thing!!

BETRAYAL

That feeling of sinking
seems to be reoccuring
it's so daringly tempting
to be something worth mastering.

I feel like I am wandering
through my mind decifering
Whats really worth loving
And whats worth despising.

Love is not worthy of feeling.
Love is a word worthy of deminishing

How can such a word be so decieving
And take the very essence of its meaning?

Nobody loves anybody, 'tis worth repeating.
Yet people still say it in forms of defeating.
I hate that word, it means to me nothing.
I hear it from people who try to be caring.

They turn me away with a look of revolting
Showing my trust is worth defying
So why do they laugh, while I am crying?
Why should they care? It's not like I am dying.

  The Best

The best of the best
Is what I try to be
But most of what I do
They dont even see
So, how can I be
the best I can be?

I try so hard to go unnoticed,
To show them the real me.
I do my best to be myself
But they don't even want to see.
What is wrong with the real me?? 
Why cant they see the best I can be?

Do I not try hard enough
To show them how life is for me?
Do I have to tell them
What to look for in the best of me?
Or do I do what I do best,
Just sit back, wait and see?
